Songs:Ohia / Jason Molina "Blue Factory Flame" 

This man should be remembered as a great among the greatest

He’s on the same level as Neil Young. Iconic, unparalleled, unique, unmatched. None compare. His covers are fallacies.

to whomever recorded this...thank you. You did service that most folks may not ever understand.

fun fact to anyone reading, jason wrote this song about his hometown lorain. the first verse of the song symbolizes his old trailer park where he lived, talking about how fond he was of it, well maybe not the trailer park itself but the scenery around it. rip jason, we miss you.

He is egoless. He will never die.

god i've never stopped loving him

EVER DREAM THIS MAN? EVERY YEAR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DREAM THIS MAN

I dunno why you had to go, Can't you come back? Godspeed my brother. Paralyzed be emptyness.

It doesn't get better than this

RIP Jason, and thanks for leaving us with your legacy. They ain't proud colors, but they are TRUE colors of your home.

The one man I would resurrect

This is the first song, I had ever heard by Jason Molina. Words cannot express how his music has affected me since. R.I.P, you will live on in our hearts always.

3 years gone. RIP Jason.

Holy shit. How have I never come across this video before?!?! Power in the raw.

Devastating in so many ways.

Love that his rig has a grounding issue

I always come back to this live footage. I just love his guitar tone in this. So much soul pouring out of it.

So much courage

damn man...the sound of that guitar though. Lyrics are mind-blowing.

One of the greatest songwriters I’ve ever heard. I’m haunted by his lyrics.

Does anyone have the rest of the concert recorded? This is the era of Jason I remember the most fondly. Just him and and electric guitar doing amazing things.

I miss this genius. Rest easy Jason

An all time great

I love this song and I love his music - RIP Jason Molina

This song is beautifully written & haunting. Thank you for the music you made.

Nobody could ever have done it like Jason. R.I.P. Always feel like he gets whatever i'm going through when I listen to his music. This song and this performance in particular are so special.

Breaking my Molina cherry right now. How did I miss this?

Absolutely mind blowing artist

What a gem. Thank you.

Such a great performance. Not sure what type of camera you caught this on, but it was perfect to capture the mood. It has a nostalgic quality that matches the song. Fuckin love it.

People think bein paralyzed by emptiness is "hip" these days but it ain't

When I die, put my bones in an empty street Don't write my name on a stone Think of the Coleman lantern and the radio And the Cleveland game and two fishing poles A dad and his boy watching from the shore The ghostly steel and iron ore ships coming home Prehistoric, phosphorescent bones Burning high above the water We are paralyzed by that emptiness Paralyzed by the openness Paralyzed by the emptiness That prehistory's gone with each dawn Clearly iron age beasts You can tell by the chains they drag You can tell by the chains that they drag Through the oil they bleed Her crew of crows flying the skulls and bones They fly the colors of their homes I fly the cross of the blue factory flame Stitched with heavy sulphur thread They're not proud colors but they're true colors The colors of my home And I am paralyzed by that emptiness I'm paralyzed by that emptiness Paralyzed by the openness Along the shore, one thousand miles I hear it calling my name I hear it calling my name I never hear it say come back home And I am paralyzed by the emptiness I'm paralyzed by the openness I'm paralyzed by the pain Blue Factory Flame ~ Jason Molina, 2000

I'm struggling with trying to drink or not but when I hear Jason it just I just have to drink and that was his thing but you can't get this type of noise out of a sober person I'm sorry... So I guess it's like you could be a sober genius with no words really or you could be a drunk genius with the greatest words in the world. Take your pick. And you can't get here fast enough..... You can't get there fast enough... Nobody can get there fast enough.

Where was this filmed?

What tuning?

When I die put my bones in an empty street to remind me of how it used to be Don't write my name on a stone bring a Coleman lantern and a radio Cleveland game and two fishing poles and watch with me from the shore Ghostly steel and iron ore ships coming home [Repeat: x4] Where I am paralyzed by the emptiness Clearly iron age beasts you can tell by the rust and the chains And by the oil that they bleed the crew and crows fly the skulls and bones They fly the colors of their homes I fly the cross of the blue factory flame Stitched with heavy sulpher thread/threat They ain't proud colors but they're true colors of my home [Repeat: x4] Where I am paralyzed by the emptiness Every mile for ten thousand miles and every year for a thousand years Every night for a thousand more I hear them calling [Repeat: x2] They never say to come home [Repeat: x4] Where I am paralyzed by the emptiness
